Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 76 / Thursday, April 22, 2021 / Notices
OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies
that the organization meets the
requirements specified in 29 CFR
1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization
can perform independent safety testing
and certification of the specific products
covered within the scope of recognition.
Each NRTL’s scope of recognition
includes: (1) The type of products the
NRTL may test, with each type specified
by the applicable test standard; and (2)
the recognized site(s) that has/have the
technical capability to perform the
product-testing and productcertification activities for test standards
within the NRTL’s scope. Recognition is
not a delegation or grant of government
authority; however, recognition enables
employers to use products approved by
the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require product testing and certification.
The agency processes applications by
a NRTL for initial recognition and for an
expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This
appendix requires that the agency
publish two notices in the Federal
Register in processing an application. In
the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides a preliminary
finding. In the second notice, the agency
provides a final decision on the
application. These notices set forth the
NRTL’s scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA
maintains an informational web page for
each NRTL, including MET, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
MET currently has one facility (site)
recognized by OSHA for product testing
and certification, with the headquarters
located at: MET Laboratories, Inc., 914
West Patapsco Avenue, Baltimore,
Maryland 21230. A complete list of
MET’s scope of recognition is available
at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
met.html.
II. General Background on the
Application
MET submitted one application, dated
May 11, 2018 (OSHA–2006–0028–0046),
to expand the recognition to include one
additional test standard. OSHA staff
performed a detailed analysis of the
application packet and reviewed other
pertinent information. OSHA did not
perform any on-site reviews in relation
to this application.
Table 1, below, lists the appropriate
test standard found in MET’s
application for expansion for testing and
certification of products under the
NRTL Program.

preliminary finding does not constitute
an interim or temporary approval of
MET’s applications.
OSHA welcomes public comment as
to whether MET meets the requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of the
recognition as a NRTL. Comments
should consist of pertinent written
documents and exhibits. Commenters
needing more time to comment must
submit a request in writing, stating the
reasons for the request. Commenters
must submit the written request for an
extension by the due date for comments.
OSHA will limit any extension to 10
days unless the requester justifies a
longer period. OSHA may deny a
request for an extension if the request is
not adequately justified. To obtain or
review copies of the exhibits identified
in this notice, as well as comments
submitted to the docket, contact the
Docket Office. These materials also are
available online at https://
www.regulations.gov under Docket No.
OSHA–2006–0028.
OSHA staff will review all comments
to the docket submitted in a timely
manner and, after addressing the issues
raised by these comments, will make a
recommendation to the Assistant
Secretary for Occupational Safety and
Health whether to grant MET’s
applications for expansion of the scope
of recognition. The Assistant Secretary
will make the final decision on granting
the application. In making this decision,
the Assistant Secretary may undertake
other proceedings prescribed in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA
will publish a public notice of the final
decision in the Federal Register.

recognized test standards to the scope of
recognition.
OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies
that the organization meets the
requirements specified by 29 CFR
1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization
can perform independent safety testing
and certification of the specific products
covered within its scope of recognition
and is not a delegation or grant of
government authority. As a result of
recognition, employers may use
products properly approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require testing and certification of the
products.
The agency processes applications by
a NRTL for initial recognition, or for
expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This
appendix requires that the agency
publish two notices in the Federal
Register in processing an application. In
the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides a preliminary
finding and, in the second notice, the
agency provides the final decision on
the application. These notices set forth
the NRTL’s scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA
maintains an informational web page for
each NRTL that details its scope of
recognition. These pages are available
from the agency’s website at https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
BVCPS currently has one facility (site)
recognized by OSHA for product testing
and certification, with headquarters
located at: Bureau Veritas Consumer
Products Services, Inc., One
Distribution Circle, Suite #1, Littleton,
MA 01460. A complete list of BVCPS’s
scope of recognition is available at
https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
csl.html.
BVCPS submitted an application,
dated June 28, 2018 (OSHA–2009–
0026–0083), to expand recognition to
include the addition of two recognized
testing and certification sites. BVCPS
amended this application on May 20,
2020, to include the addition of twentyone recognized test standards. The
amended application listed an
additional standard, UL 962, which is
already included in BVCPS’s NRTL
scope of recognition and will not be
considered in this notice. The first new
site is located at: Bureau Veritas
Consumer Products Services (H.K.) Ltd.
Taoyuan Branch, No. 19, Hwa Ya 2nd
Rd., Wen Hwa Vil., Kewi Shan Dist.,
Taoyuan City, Taiwan. The second new
site is located at: LCIE China Company
Limited, Building 4, No. 518, Xin Zhuan
Road, CaoHejiing Songjiang High-Tech
Park, Shanghai 201612 China. OSHA
staff performed on-site reviews of
BVCPS Shanghai, China’s testing facility
on February 27–28, 2019 and BVCPS
Taoyuan Branch’s testing facility on
March 5–6, 2019, in which the assessors
found some non-conformances with the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. BVCPS
addressed these non-conformances
satisfactorily, and OSHA made a
preliminary decision to approve the
application.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing BVCPS’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
21357
February 23, 2021 (86 FR 11001). The
agency requested comments by March
10, 2021, but received no comments in
response to this notice. OSHA now is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant expansion of BVCPS’s scope of
recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to
BVCPS’s application, go to https://
www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW,
Room N–3653, Washington, DC 20210.
Docket No. OSHA–2009–0026 contains
all materials in the record concerning
BVCPS’s recognition. Please note: Due
to the COVID–19 pandemic, the Docket
Office is closed to the public at this time
but can be contacted at (202) 693–2350.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined BVCPS’s
expansion application, the capability to
meet the requirements of the test
standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on a review of this
evidence, OSHA finds that BVCPS
meets the requirements of 29 CFR
1910.7 for expansion of the recognition,
subject to the specified limitations, and
conditions listed. OSHA, therefore, is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant BVCPS’s scope of recognition.
OSHA limits the expansion of BVCPS’s
recognition to include the sites at
Shanghai, China and Taoyuan City,
Taiwan, in addition to the testing and
certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
test standards listed below in Table 1.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 76 / Thursday, April 22, 2021 / Notices
OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for
a particular test standard is limited to
equipment or materials for which OSHA
standards require third-party testing and
certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test
standard also covers any products for
which OSHA does not require such
testing and certification, a NRTL’s scope
of recognition does not include these
products.
The American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) may approve the test
standards listed above as American
National Standards. However, for
convenience, the use of the designation
of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed
to the ANSI designation may occur.
Under the NRTL Program’s policy (see
OSHA Instruction CPL 1–0.3, Appendix
C, paragraph XIV), any NRTL
recognized for a particular test standard
may use either the proprietary version
of the test standard or the ANSI version
of that standard. Contact ANSI to
determine whether a test standard is
currently ANSI-approved.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions
already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
BVCPS must abide by the following
conditions of the recognition:
1. BVCPS must inform OSHA as soon
as possible, in writing, of any change of
ownership, facilities, or key personnel,
and of any major change in its
operations as a NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. BVCPS must meet all the terms of
its recognition and comply with all
OSHA policies pertaining to this
recognition; and
3. BVCPS must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
BVCPS’s scope of recognition, in all
areas for which it has recognition.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR
1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope
of recognition of BVCPS, subject to the
limitations and conditions specified
above.

OMB Control Number: Not assigned.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Researchers, including university and
college faculty and students, who will
use this data for statistical analysis.
Total Estimated Number of
Respondents: Approximately 50 new
respondents are expected annually to

Abstract: MCC is committed to
providing public access to high-value
data collected as part of the
development, implementation, and
evaluation of MCC-funded assistance
programs, while being equally
committed to protecting the
confidentiality of individuals and
organizations from which the data are
collected. To achieve these twin aims,
MCC publishes de-identified public use
files of microdata on its website through
the MCC Evaluation Catalog. In
addition, MCC plans to make restricted
data files available in cases where the
de-identification efforts for public use
files would significantly impair the
analytic potential of the data, or where
the data contain highly sensitive
information that cannot be shared as a
public-use file. However, access to
restricted data will only be granted to
users who meet eligibility criteria and
agree to terms of access established by
MCC, including agreeing to follow strict
requirements for maintaining data
confidentiality. The MCC Restricted
Data Use Application collects
information that will be used by MCC
and its data steward, the University of
Michigan’s Interagency Consortium for
Political and Social Research (ICPSR), to
evaluate whether respondents qualify
for access to MCC’s restricted data. The
application, which will be submitted
electronically, requires the provision of
specific information by the respondent,
such as (i) the name, contact
information, and CV/Resume/Biosketch
for each person that will access the
restricted data, (ii) a research proposal
describing the need for the data and
how it will be used, (iii) evidence of
Institutional Review Board approval or

testing and certification of the specific products covered within its
scope of recognition and is not a delegation or grant of government
authority. As a result of recognition, employers may use products
properly approved by the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require
testing and certification of the products.
The agency processes applications by a NRTL for initial
recognition, or for expansion or renewal of this recognition, following
requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix requires
that the agency publish two notices in the Federal Register in
processing an application. In the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides a preliminary finding and, in the second

third-party testing and certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any products
for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, a
NRTL's scope of recognition does not include these products.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the
test standards listed above as American National Standards. However,
for convenience, the use of the designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation may
occur. Under the NRTL Program's policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL 1-0.3,
Appendix C, paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized for a particular test
standard may use either the proprietary version of the test standard or
the ANSI version of that standard. Contact ANSI to determine whether a
test standard is currently ANSI-approved.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
BVCPS must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
1. BVCPS must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major
change in its operations as a NRTL, and provide details of the
change(s);
2. BVCPS must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
3. BVCPS must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on BVCPS's scope of
recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the
scope of recognition of BVCPS, subject to the limitations and
conditions specified above.
